Kelvin's Corner: ..Just a few things

..that you should not do when its like 104 degrees outside in Chicago....

1. First of all you should try not to MOVE...Period. When its that hot outside you basically need to find some place that has some AC blowing and just sit your ass down. You know its bad when Com Ed has decided to give folks a break on their delinquent accounts and not do cut offs cause they realize people are using more electricity.

2. Stand on the corner in the sweltering heat drinking liquor straight out the bottle. I saw this old dude around the crib standing out on Sat. afternoon drinking out of a pint size bottle of J & B Scotch. Now I can only think of two things that could make a person want to do this...it has to be some strange method of falling out on the corner so you can get taken to an air conditioned emergency room, or sheer stupidity....

3. Try some new organic deodorant. People trust me on this one m'kay? Stick to the shit you already KNOW works....Period

Heat + Suspect Deodorant = Bad Combination

4. Limit yourself to taking one shower a day...It is encouraged to take as many showers a day as possible because of all the heat and humidity you are naturally gonna sweat more and there is nothing like a shower to make you feel brand new again..*smile*

5. Ride in a car with no AC. Now this should be obvious but lemme give you some justification aside from what you already know. There is a small thing called "road rage" and the chances of it flaring up or your tolerance for ig'nant ass drivers is significantly decreased when riding in a hot ass car with no AC. You are dreading every red light, stop sign, stop and go traffic....Why? Cause everytime you have to stop that means that the wind coming in thru the window cooling your sweating ass off stops and the frustration just builds...its a snowball effect..(no pun intended)

...these are just a few observations made over the course of the weekend since our temps here were in the 100's?!?!?!

The weekend overall was good though and I have more stories to tell too!!...From my toothache to my buddy's wedding....stay tuned!!

Happy Monday...

*I still can't believe I will be 30 on Thursday...*smh*...LOL!!!*

Great post and I agree with your entire list, especially not trying a new "organic" deodorant. It's selfish to subject people to that period! *lol* Happy Birthday!

LMAO! i feel for people that actually have to work outdoors (parking lots, amusement parks, airport, even the nation of islam brothers in suits selling bean pies and final calls....) it must be crucial to work in such conditions!

Alcohol + heat = dehydration

It's on fire in the Chi ain't it? Good GRIEF. I got off the plane Sunday like 'how did I end up taking a plane to hell?'...

Stay cool...and since I'll be outta the country Thursday...and CAN'T drink the stuff myself, I'll be sure to buy my friends shots of Patron in honor of your b-day Thursday......:)

Man, it's toooooo hot outside!!!!

#1 is absolutely right. Just sit yo ass down in front of a fan or AC, get some water/a popsicle/ a smoothie/ a slurpee/ a frappuccino and be cool.

I have one word....hil-DAYUM-arious!!! And so true. But here's another one: when it's hot as 2 cats fuggin in a wool sock, don't you get to fuggin if you ain't got A/C, ya'll will wake up stuck together like 2 dogs.....needin' the jaws of life to seperate you....all funky and musty to boot!

My damn work car doesn't have AC. It blows cool air in the morning. But come 10:00am, it's no cooling off in that muthaphucka. No way. No how. Every time I step up out that mug, I'm dripping wet. And I'm not talking about in a good way. LOL I'm gone phuck around and be a puddle of brown sugar in a minute!
